Me, I'll take a 2012 Norton Commando please
(sorry if this is a repost, I haven't seen this pop up here yet)

It looks awesome on paper and pictures. Unfortunately I've heard they've had some serious delivery and production issues as of late, people all over have been waiting for bikes already paid for a year in advance.

Haha. Google the company. I don't think they are actually able to ship any bikes. Lots of fimamcial woes. Lots of lawsuits. Lots of undelivered bikes.
Confirmed delays:

But its so damn sexy....
The bike is so out of the realm of possibility for me, whether they were spot on with deliveries or never made a single one, that I am satisfied just looking at the pictures and continuing to dream

I dunno, I like the Thruxton more better'er.![]()
I can't compare, but after riding Kenn's Thruxton I almost bought that instead of the triple. Very fun and very cool looking.

I can resist everything but Pete's mom.
I like the Guzzi V7 myself.

Thats when I first got the Thruxton. The air box is gone now and it's got the k&n's.
The first 'big bike' I ever rode was a 750 Norton Comando. This was around 1969. Kid who owned it said I could ride it if I could start it. Almost broke my leg but got it done. And after 2-3 laps around the parking lot my clutch hand was shaking from the effrort. About a year later I got to ride another one. This time at speed on the street! My own bike was shift left. The Norton was shift right. But what a rush. That's when my love affair with motorcycles really took off...

beautiful beautiful bike johnny, i have always been a fan of the older "looking" nortons. Sadly this guy runs his business as effectlively as peter savini (i can never turn down a chance to poke fun at this guy sorry)
I really like those... but the Scrambler is the Brit bike that tugs at the heartstrings most these days for me...
